So cute! Do you know what breeds you have?

I have 5 EE's, 11 Cornish x Rock and 5 buff rock. Lost 50% of the order in shipping

The good news is I picked up my incubator today and am receiving a dozen each Crested Creme Leg Bars and Ameraucana/EE next week.

Finally got the doors on. They over center a little bit and hold themselves open.


Most of the bunch settling down for a sleep, weird how they all do it at once.

What is that black thing that the feeders are on?

A rubber boot mat turned upside down, lol. Easy to clean, good traction and high contrast for finding feed. Seems to be working well,

A note for those interested in Fermented Feed for chicks. I gave them both FF and reg. starter the first day, they definitely preferred the reg. starter. I almost caved in but only offered the the FF the second day and they eventually got into it. Now they run when I refill the dish.
